I wonder if Daddy Big Balls is going to start making noise again now that Magic Johnson's henchmen aren't around to threaten him.

Weak draft, but he seems like a good playmaker for a wing, some poor man's Paul George potential.

For me he just passes the eyeball test.
Stat wise, he got outplayed by Hunter in the championship game, but Culver looks like a player.
I think he's going to be a better pro than Hunter.

Ricky Rubio is a FA. Does the same things Ball does (defense, passing) and doesn't do the same things Ball doesn't (shooting).

ball's career FTing is pitiful - 44% compared to rubio's 84%. their 3PT career %s are the same. ball, however, has shown a better ability to finish at the rim than ricky - and we always smacked our heads in frustration over rubio's inability to do that. that opens things up a lot more for other players when that's a threat. ball's a career 45% shooter of 2s - rubio a career 41%. remember how we said how much better rubio would be if ONLY he could raise his shooting % to the mid 40s? and, like rubio, ball is a helluva distributor and defender. i'm not totally sold on the idea of 11 for ball, but we could do worse.

Re: **Official NBA Offseason Transactions/Rumors Thread**
So he's Ricky but no one likes him......not sure why I'd want that on my team when the original/better couldn't get it done here. Further, it's not as if we've added a ton of shooting to make up for his garbage shot. Even further, I'd be embarrassed to root for the same team Lavar Ball does. Hard pass, pun intended.mglviks wrote: ↑Wed Jun 12, 2019 7:13 pmProbably would give 11 for Ball think you could get a 2nd back.populousample wrote: ↑Wed Jun 12, 2019 7:03 pmWould ya give 11 for Ball?Sergeant Rubetube wrote: ↑Wed Jun 12, 2019 6:37 pm

Yes he is hated. Yes he needs to get better as a shooter, but yes he is a magical distributor.

You are making me sad. Get back in the draft threads. Ignore the nonsense. Actually, read all the nonsense. Then realize that's what trading 11 for Ball is. Take a breath and remember we currently have a PG way better than Ball. He replaced a PG better than Ball. And our current 4 is Gorgs and he has no backup.somuchyummy wrote: ↑Thu Jun 13, 2019 8:26 am ball's career FTing is pitiful - 44% compared to rubio's 84%. their 3PT career %s are the same. ball, however, has shown a better ability to finish at the rim than ricky - and we always smacked our heads in frustration over rubio's inability to do that. that opens things up a lot more for other players when that's a threat. ball's a career 45% shooter of 2s - rubio a career 41%. remember how we said how much better rubio would be if ONLY he could raise his shooting % to the mid 40s? and, like rubio, ball is a helluva distributor and defender. i'm not totally sold on the idea of 11 for ball, but we could do worse.

I'd rather have Ricky than Ball though. Ball is an atrocious shooter. He shoots 43% at the line and barely tries to get there because he sucks so hard.
Ricky is a really good FT shooter and always tries to draw fouls. His set 3 pointer is respectable also...it's those wrong foot, one footer fade aways that always drove me nuts. That and his lack of a floater. Shit, I'm talking myself into a return.

Re: **Official NBA Offseason Transactions/Rumors Thread**
I wonder how many froobs who always say “country club” want Rubio back.
He’s not a Rosas-type guy, imo.
We need shooting and ball movement. Ricky brings neither.
He brings risky D, solid floor general skills, and country club. That’s about it.

you know that i'd most like to use our 11 on brandon clarke. but if the team goes for nassir little or bol bol or jaxson hayes, then yeah - i'd rather they had made a trade for lonzo ball instead. and yelling loudly that rubio is a much better shooter than ball i suppose is a strong argumentative tactic, except it's not true. stats don't lie. rubio's a much better FREE THROW shooter than lonzo, but that's about it. they've hit exactly the same % of threes in their careers - but ball is far ahead of rubio shooting twos and scoring at the rim. ricky's first five years in the league, he couldn't get that number to 40%. he's breached that barrier finally with a high of 44%, but lonzo in only his second year already bested that with a 48% mark. there's no reason to think that he'll regress in this area, and like a lot of nba players do, he'll continue to grow in that regard. i'm a little surprised you're so low on ball - considering that he's been a pretty damn good defender. like i said though, i'd rather that we just pick clarke.

LaVine for Ball + Hill + move up three spots? To draft Garland and pair him with Ball?
There's a reason the Pelicans would LOVE this deal.
